Gene correction of HBB mutations in CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells using Cas9 mRNA and ssODN donors
14 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
β-Thalassemia is an inherited hematological disorder caused by mutations in the human hemoglobin beta ( HBB ) gene that reduce or abrogate β-globin expression. Although lentiviral-mediated expression of β-globin and autologous transplantation is a promising therapeutic approach, the risk of insertional mutagenesis or low transgene expression is apparent. However, targeted gene correction of HBB mutations with...
